We saw a recipe for getting rid of mildew stains, but can only remember that it called for lemon and baking soda - there was at least a third ingredient - anyone know what it is or another way to get the stains off this bookbag? I'm throwing it out if we can't get them off.

spray the entire bag with tilex. it contains bleach but dyed canvas will not run. pay extra attention to mildew areas, wait until dry and then launder... it will look like new!!

. Take the mildewy clothing outside and brush off any loose mold growth. (You don't want those spores floating around your house.)
2. Leave fabric in the sun to dry out - heat and sun kill mildew.
3. Presoak remaining stains in cold water, then wash in hot water with detergent. Allow to dry in the sun.
4. If stains still persist, sponge the area with diluted chlorine bleach (use 2 tbsp. bleach to 1 qt. water). After about 10 minutes, rinse.
5. Launder as usual, rinse and allow to dry in the sun.
I hope this helps you :]

It may have been hydrogen peroxide. I've used it to get out lots of stains.

go to the grocery store and get some thing called Iron-out, you will have many other uses for it as well, you can find it in the laundry detergent section

Presoak it with laundry detergent, then run it through the washing machine.
